Conference Venue

The organising committee has selected the same venue used for previous editions of the ECPM: the luxurious Opal Cove Resort in Coffs Harbour. Located 5 minutes North of Coffs Harbour on the Pacific Highway, Opal Cove Resort is right on the beach at Korora Bay; ideally situated for a variety of activities from bush walking in the national park to world-class surfing in the Pacific Ocean. As well as secluded beach front, the resort also boasts a freshwater lagoon. The resort is surrounded by 36 hectares of sub-tropical rainforest, and has a 9-hole golf hourse, tennis courts, heated swimming pool, spa and massage facilities for delegates to enjoy.

How to Get There
Coffs Harbour is located between Sydney and Brisbane, and is about 5 hours or 6 hours drive from each city, respectively. The Resort is located only a short distance from the Airport and Bus/Rail terminals, so is easily accessible by all forms of transport.

Train
Trains for Coffs Harbour leave Sydney at 7:11am on Friday morning and arrive at 3:58pm in Coffs Harbour. For concession prices, contact CountryLink ticket sales on 132-232 (within Australia).
From Brisbane, trains leave at 5:55am and arrive at 11:05am in Coffs Harbour.

AirVirgin Australia, Qantas and Tiger Air all fly to Coffs Harbour direct from Sydney, or from Brisbane (via Sydney). The venue can provide free mini-bus transfer by prior arrangement, but this is limited to only 8 people. For groups larger than 8 people it is suggested that taxi services will probably be quicker.
